Re:

To be honest, the reason why this will go nowhere is money. No club is going to want cheaper admission,the Premier League dont want it for that reason, nor the FA. The guy from the FSF at the roadshow on Saturday put forward the point of view that money might be exactly the reason it could come bac...

Re:

White for the away shirt please. The new home kit is a big improvement on last season's debacle. I think the long sleeve version looks better than the short sleeved one. My disappointment lies in that they are only going up to size XXL in the new shirts. Agree with you about white for the away kit ...

Re:

On the patents point (which is very different from the copywrite point), I doubt if the logo would have been patented by the club. The club will automatically own copywrite if they designed or commissioned the logo, but if it was designed by someone else, that someone would own the copywrite and wo...

Re:

As a previous mild cynic of this proposed signing I do want to be on record as saying...good luck Michael, loved you at Leeds, and I certainly hope for the best! But I'd mainly like to see you in a supervisory role for two proteges, James and Worley, and still secretly wonder why we'd move Creighto...

Re:

I'm just wondering where the extra money is coming from, or rather is it right to spend money on a bit of a jolly? Surely the players will be getting match fitness rather than able to use it as a paid for holiday. We've had a one match cuprun at West Ham which was perhaps used to sign Craddock (I t...

Re: Guess who is scoring goals !!

No surprise that midson has been playing very well for southend. He scored twice in the game today and noticed a lot of positive things coming from match reports About time he scored for them as he has played in five matches prior to that one without scoring. As for playing well, the general consen...

A phone call might be advisable though, as I have bought two of these previously - one was navy and the other royal blue.

Re:

Sorry, I meant to say terracing. My bad. As previously said, League Two Morecambe have just built a new ground that includes terracing, so not sure what you are saying. At present if a club below Championship level wants to build and use a terrace then they can, so not much of a leap for that to in...

Re:

What worries me most - and you make this point as well - is that this policy has acquired a sort of path dependency. It was set up for all the wrong reasons, but is now so entrenched in so many people's thinking that the inappropriateness of the policy is irrelevant: it is what it is and there is n...

Re:

I said during the game yesterday that I thought JC's persistent offside was a deliberate tactic to stretch the PV midfield and give us more room to play. I'm no football expert but to me it looked deliberate and it seemed to do a job. It's not something we've ever accused him of before so there is ...

I'm not particulary bothered one way or the other whether away fans have a drum or not, or even home fans! But the day when we have a policy of banning things such as drums, flags, rattles! will be a sad day. Usually, whenever away fans have a drum it seems to make us even quieter than usual... so f...

Replies: 19
Views: 5831

It's obvious to see Worley is the better player. Has everything that Creighton has, but also more pace, better distribution, and far less likely to be turned inside out. Worley has played just three games for us and is settling in and if I remember correctly Creighton had a shocker (for 85 minutes) ...
